Mindhunter is just not a tv series but an actual story

This is for those who have watched Mindhunter and those who want to watch it.

We all saw Holden Ford and Bill Trench trying to investigate several prisoners and this must have reminded you of Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal Lector himself.

Mindhunter is one heck of a true series which would leave you shocked or surprised. And here is the worst news about it, the series is not fictional. It’s based on true events. So the whole raping, decapitating, killing dogs, mothers, grandparents, innocent female hitchhikers are all just true. Oh yeah, there is a real Richard Speck who raped student nurses and killed them as well. This is not Stephen King horror. This is actual horror.

It’s fun to humor about killing at times with statements as “I will kill you”, “I will beat you up”, “I will shoot you down before the sun goes down” but what if these statements do come true? And necrophilia is not a joke. So all of these took place during the 1970s.

Holden Ford a.k.a John E Douglas and Bill Trench a.k.a Robert K Ressler were working for FBI’s behavioral science unit. During their time, they invested more than 30 serial killers in U.S. To their horror, the cases are not complicated but the personalities seem sane when they clearly are not.

It’s best to skip the last part of this post though, Just giving you a heads up
